Thinking about names, wishing I was pregnant (though it would add all sorts of mess to my already insane life, lol). Thinking about some names I've never thought of before...

My nieces and nephew all have eight letters in their name, which has become my brother and sister-in-law's "naming trend," which I'm sure most people don't even notice looking at their names or hearing them (Dominick, Lilliana and Scarlett - and the sis in law has said if they have another girl ever it will be Emmaline/Emmeline). Somehow a lot of the girl names I like just happen to have eight letters, so I might end up following that trend...

Margaret (my real first name, I didn't use it for years but started to use it again recently. NEVER considered using it for a girl until very recently. I'd likely call a girl Maggie if I named her Margaret - I was a Marge/Margie growing up, and I LOATHED that)
Gretchen (perhaps a nice alternative to Margaret?)
Adelaide
Victoria
Veronica
Virginia
Michaela (the only version of this pretty name I would choose. I think it's so lovely, but the McKayla and similar spellings sort of ruined it for me for a while)

On the not-eight-letter thing, I also love Emma, Julia, Hannah...

Boy names are harder for me... But I do like:
Benjamin
Sullivan
Harrison

I just have it set in my mind that if I do get pregnant, I'll have a girl, so I've not worried too terribly much about boy names. :-P I do really love William, but my boyfriend already has a son with that name (he's an adult at this point, but it would still be bizarre to name another kid the same thing, lol). We both really like Seth for a boy, and I love Gregory.

Would love suggestions of classy eight letter names, either gender. :)
